JOHN JAY.
TO JAMES LOVELL.
Madrid, May 27th, 1780.
Sir,
Eight days ago I had the pleasure of receiving a packet containing journals and newspapers.
From an endorsement I conjecture that I am indebted to you for it. There was no letter enclosed in it. I am much obliged by this attention. American intelligence is of more importance here (where they have little of it) than can well be imagined.
I have the honor to be, &c.
JOHN JAY.
